Hello Ania,
a nice and interesting picture of the spider which is able to walk on the water surface. Focus and sharpness are excellent. Presentation of the impressed water is 'impressive'.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Ania,
This is a fine capture of a marsh spider. The detail you show gives a good example of how it uses the surface tension of the water, so well described in your note.
Thanks and regards,
Ivan

Hi Ania!
Very nice picture! And very interesting too!
I have seen many times insects "walking" on the water but never observed in detail the water surface...
Thanks! Enrico.

Hi Ania,
A beautiful photo, especially how the water surface is holding the spider on top of it. It is just interesting to see the shape of the water. Composition and sharpness are very good.
TFS,

Witaj,
Tez nie jestem specem od pajakow, ale mysle ze moge ci pomoc w identyfikacji. Na 99% to jest Bagnik przybrzezny (Dolomedes fimbriatus).
Co do zdjecia, to bardzo fajny, czysty kadr i zywe kolory. Focus moze odrobine za daleko, bo glowa wydaje sie mniej ostra niz reszta. Ogolnie, bardzo fajna fotka.
Pozdrawiam,
Monika

Hej!
Ciekawa kompozycja i w sumie trudna do uchwycenia, raz przez wzglad, ze pajak jest dosc szybki, dwa tutaj na wodzie latwo o odblaski plujace fotografie. Tobie sie to udalo :)
Glebia ostrosci i kontrast sa bardzo dobre (moze z wylaczeniem fragmentow czesci glowowej).
Pozdawiam!

Hi Ania

I hope you don't mind me picking this shot to talk about, but i was simply charmed by it when i was browsed through your gallery :)
You caught this nice spider in such an impressive position here - "walking" on water. It's indeed an impressive phenomenon of the insect world that use their hair from their legs to push down on the surface of the water and use that superficial tension in order to "walk" on it.
You managed to see that well here and captured it from an excellent POV.
The details on your spider are very neat and sharp - especially on the abdomen and the hind legs. The cefalo-thorax looses at bit in sharpness, which might have been avoided with the use of a bigger DOF, but it's really no big deal here.
The contrast here between the spider, the water and the reeds is also a very attractive element, giving also some nice colors to the scene.
All-in-all: wonderful work.

Bravo and TFS

Zdjęcie z paru względów ciekawe.
Piekny pająk prezentuje na czym polega zjawisko napięcia powierzchniowego!
Super!
